Political Commentator Warns of New Tensions Around Second Amendment Amid Wave of Shootings

"What people don't understand about the US love affair with guns is that it's not about guns alone - rather, it's about movement in which gun rights come together with primitive back-to-basic constitutionalism, xenophobia, racism, and American exceptionalism to form an increasingly explosive package", historian and political commentator Dan Lazare explained.

He also cited professor Sanford Levinson, who noted that the Second Amendment "amounted to a mini-constitution" that, in contrast to the federal government in the distant capital, posits some kind of "small-scale neighbourly republic in which local citizens band together to defend their ancient American rights against outsiders".

"As the social breakdown intensifies, this means globalists, environmentalists, Hillary Clinton-style feminists raging against 'white privilege', and so on and so forth nearly ad infinitum", Lazare added.
